It's very important. But to me, messaging and communicating is everything. The party, as a whole, is starving for Ds who will go on offense. This guy doesn't have the ability to do that AT ALL. As you say, he is probably very effective as the Gov. of CO, and more power to him. But when he starts putting himself out there as a candidate for POTUS the standards change.
